    BEK _ Alan will be so jealous of you, being a fitting specialist at Bras N Things is on the top of his dream job list. No kidding! Bahahaah I can't wait to hear all about it. A girl can never have enough lovely pairs of underwear!!! I can't wait to see a catalogue!!! Yippee!!! Oh bless, let us know how Sara goes at school tomorrow. Is she excited? It will be a bittersweet moment for you, but you'll be in the swing of school in no time! I promise.

    I'm actually not sure if any firm plans have been made. I'm sure that there will be a big playdate somewhere with ALL the kids - I took mine along last time to Sydney, & then maybe a dinner for those who are keen? I won't have my kids with me but I'm sure there will be heaps of kids there and we all pitch in & help each other. So if you want to bring them, bring them, if you want to fly solo, fly solo. KWIM? I would have loved for my girls to meet yours though

    OH MY LORDIE, it's the 'Little Chinese New Year' tonight (it goes for 2 weeks & tonight is the start) & fireworks are going off at every street corner - including our security men having a ball in the carpark of our building lighting them up every 2 minutes. it's going to be a very long 2 weeks, with very little sleep. It's very exciting, but wears thing very quickly! I'm not sure how the kids will sleep tonight.

    Bek, you've got an amazing range! I'm still impressed with the woman who did the party I went to actually managing to put me in a bra that first of all fitted, secondly was comfortable, and even more amazingly, gave this flat-chested chickie some boobies and cleavage! Jayne, you can see most of the stuff online, but I'm not sure I should reveal the name without Bek wanting me to.

    Night three of no dummy. He took it at day care yesterday and it came home with him when I picked him up, but he mostly wanted to hold it in his hand. He even had a nap today with no dummy... I still have to wrap and rock him to sleep for day sleeps - he's like me and has terrible trouble getting to sleep during the day - and he still went to sleep quite quickly, but I rocked more and had to listen to him crying a bit rather than just quietly drifting off to sleep in my arms... So looks like we are now a dummy-free house! Truth be told, they are still lying around, he's just suddenly not interested. He's been eating better today, but refused his bottle at bed time (but he ate his dinner, then ate some of ours when we ate, so he was probably quite full). I'm not sure if he's no longer in pain, or just happier because Daddy has been home today... But I have an appointment with the GP tomorrow, and I'll keep it and have him checked over just to be sure.

    I wonder if I have the only toddler to go cold turkey off dummies by their own initiative?

    Sounds very promising BW _ I say try & stick to it whilst the going is good! Perhaps he has just 'grown out' of it of his own accord. I might be inclined to do a dummy-sweep though & get rid of them all JIC he decides to go back to them. KWIM?

    Oooh Bek, PM me or e-mail me the range. I am all excited now!!!!

    Fireworks are still continuing - I"m over it!

    Oh my you girls can talk up a storm!!

    Jayne - so glad you had a great Aus day! Its nice when you meet a stranger that reminds you of someone dear to your heart. I dont think I ever told you guys that at Natalya's birth, a lady from the cord donor place was there - she was Michelle Im sure of it, looked the same and had the same beautiful nature, same eyes, well she held my hand through the whole thing, they didnt let DH in until after they put in the epi but she was there hugging me - I will never forget her and it was exactly like having Michelle there with me. Bizzare but true!

    BW - WTG on the dummy thing - Miss A asks for hers occasionally but then says 'oh no mummy its at the north pole with Santa!' - I took hers away only because she began having it all the time and she would talk with it in her mouth.

    Bek - Good luck for school tomorrow! Im sure it will be emotional but a beautiful thing. I would say we should do a lunch and dinner at the Syd meet up! OH and Bek, still no AF. I suspect my SIL is going to force me to POAS today when she gets here!

    Now, can you Syd girls recommend a good hotel? Have to start looking into flights too!!

    OK must fly, SIL is coming over to do her DD's baptism invites..

    LISA _ I'm having kittens at your post about booking a hotel. We stayed on Darling Harbour last time we were there. I think it was called Golden Oaks or something like that? It was pretty nice - but no room service. (Have to get your priorities right!). Just a little cafe at the bottom of the building. Oh no you didn't mention about at Natalya's birth. I can just imagine how comforting it was to have somebody like that there for you. It makes the world of difference. It was probably Michelle disguised - she is freaking awesome that woman!

    Love Jayne xx
